FIFA 11 PC Discussion Thread

[mahesh]

Hi all,
Is anyone tried fifa 11 pc using keyboard? I have installed that and i am playing that. I have configured the key board settings too. For taking free kicks and all how to use the keys for curving the ball and all. Also the same for the penalties. I have pressed the key for skill move and followed the way they explained in the tips. But it is not working for me. Can anyone please help me!!!

[sre06]

[mahesh]

Naaa....the in game play.....damn it lags so much... it's so irritating man.....

^^ on your rig it should not lag - on which OS you are running the game at what resolution and gfx settings - try using all updated drivers and directx runtime.

i guess abhidev is using windows 7 64bit.....
@abhidev: try the compatibility mode of windows xp sp3 or sp2.....

[vamsi_krishna]

I managed to run it at 60fps all the time with maxed settings. I think HD4850 i capable of pulling. Something is wrong!

I hv lowered all the settings but still no effect...but i saw one fix which kind of smoothened the game play a bit by changing the sound sampling rate to 44.1khz...

[mahesh]

in my system it runs very smoothly without any lag. i am using vista 32 bit.

Doesn't lag at all for me on Win 7 64 bit with 2GB RAM. The card is 460 GTX though.

[Zangetsu]

@abhidev: as u can c lots of users r playing it smoothly...so the conclusion is dat there is some problem with FIFA setup....

[rgsilent]

Oh yes, does the game crash a lot for anyone just after one completes a match in the manager mode? it happens with me a lot.

Guys, i dont think the game has any problem whatsoever.
I might cuz your not doing it right.
Its difficult on keyboard.
Ok, assuming you are having problem curving the ball while free kick, solution is to press and hold the left or right arrow to swing ball respectively then, when player's foot is about to hit the ball, during his run to the ball.
Next, i didnt get what exactly is your problem with penalty shoot outs.
Next, as for skill tricks, [a]the skill modifier[/b] key (let us assume it to be spacebar), is to be tapped when you want to perform the trick.
Example, double tap space to perform ovev the ball dummy.
Hit space while sprinting with ball to push it forward.
Space>left>right>left, between the legs, while going left with ball.
Space(hold)>up>left>down>right>up, 360. Quite impossible to perform on keyboard.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for this reply.
By the way did u try these tricks using key board?

[ajai5777]

I installed it and its running fine with out crashes.But it has got some rendering issues.I am playing it in 1600 x 900 in medium settings.Even though I am getting 60fps, the game has some sluttering.

I could use most of the tricks including 360 in 08,09 n 10 but in 11 those are not working with skill move modifier.Even the basic step over cant be performed

[mahesh]

^^ its true. i am also not able to do the same.

Ok, set skill move modifier to space.
Now, while sprinting (traning mode) tap space. If ur player pushes the ball forward, then everythings working fine.
You'll just know with the different animations.
Anyway, if it works like it does in mine, you can just try different key combinations to do tricks.
.
If it doesn't, try the game at friends house. Try the game with controller. Try different keys. Try to match timings.
.
I think it wont be a problem, all of friends play nice game with expert tricks.
Like one of then does the left/right foot backflip using a controller...

[ajai5777]

Played some more matches...
This is how I felt..(I am a keyboard player)

Pros:

The way the ball is handled by the players is dramatically improved
Dribbling with arrow keys is more realistic
personality and style of play is added to players.We can notice this when we play with Drogba,messi ronaldo rooney etc...

Cons:

Graphics hasnt improved much
They have overdone the physical play...interactions and collissions etc..Its ruining the game..If we have a strong striker like drogba, we can muscle out defenders and score..and its really boring.

I don't think it would help much as my processor is bottleneck...i couldn't play medal of honor too because of the stuttering. Well m trying to find out where I can sell my pc components so that I can buy the new one.

[topgear]

^^ simply OC it to 2.6-2.8 Ghz and that should give you neough power to enjoy the game I reckon.
